About this piece
The Longin Hi-Standard 97S is a sinking hard bait designed for versatile year-round use, offering the same proven action and handling as the 120 size in a compact 97mm package. Its lip is positioned at the very front of the body with a direct top-eye attachment for quick water grab and sharp, responsive swimming. A fin keel on the underside moderates rolling to produce a tight wobble-roll action (40% wobble, 60% roll), with irregular slide action triggered when water flow changes.
